Christian Eriksen hopes that people can view him as a footballer, rather than a cardiac arrest survivor now he is poised to make his return to the professional game.
Eriksen joined Brentford on a six-month contract in January and is now feeling his way back into competitive football, just seven months after he collapsed on the pitch while playing for Denmark at Euro 2020.
The 29-year-old midfielder has been fitted with an implanted cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD), which has allowed him to continue his playing career.
